Kitchen Knife Sharpening Workshop with Garrett Wade Tools

According to the organizers:

You cannot overstate the joy or importance of working with a sharp knife. New, well-made knives will stay sharp for a few months but they eventually need re-sharpening. And of course, inexpensive knives will become dull after a few weeks of use. It’s easy to keep all your knives sharp. It’s a great skill to learn and once you do, even budget knives can be sharpened to perform like a high-end chef’s knife.

In this class you will learn how to sharpen any sized kitchen-knife to a keen razor’s edge. You’ll learn why you should sharpen an all-purpose knife differently than a paring knife or a fillet knife. Although all sharpening will be done manually, this class will also survey different types of sharpening apparatus from hand held to motor driven. You’ll also learn how to assess and make basic repairs to broken tips, dinged edges and damaged handles.

With enrollment, each person will receive a versatile knife sharpening setup ($45 value) to take home.
